The 24 Hours of Le Mans saw Ferrari emerge as key players during the night-time phase of the race. The three cars from the Prancing Horse manufacturer, including two 499Ps from the Ferrari – AF Corse team and a yellow-liveried entry from AF Corse, advanced to leading positions after four hours.
As evening descended, these Ferrari Hypercars maintained their positions among the front-runners, demonstrating effective strategy both on track and in pit stops. By sunrise, with six hours left in this 93rd edition of the race, car number 51 led the provisional standings. Antonio Giovinazzi, James Calado, and Alessandro Pier Guidi shared driving duties for this car.
